The cannon seems to take nicer photos, is smaller and lighter and you don't loose out too much real world zoom as the clarity falls off at the end.

With that said it's pretty cool to be able to take photos and videos of animals at 2km+, Just don't expect amazeballs quality. Moon mode is nice for shots of the.... moon... but also handy for framing where an animal is and hit the ok button and have it go to full zoom for you.

I think in the future I'll change to high end spotting scope and adaptor for my DSLR.

Thats what I'm looking for was thinking if i got the P900 I might have wished i got the SX60HS and saved some coin. I've also looked FZ80 but cant find near as much about it. I just need useable quality really but the nicer photos the better provided I want to carry it. I'm tempted to pick up a second hand camera however having not had any experience with them I'm not sure on the longevity of cameras etc.
